I would like to be able to have a button that my firm's legal assistants can click which will automatically popup the folder on the server where the client's documents are stored. What is the easiest way to write this?

Thanks.

I found that. It launches the window. Now, I want to be able to reference a field and launch the path based on the contents of the field.

Ok, I just replaced the file path with the name of the text box and it works.
